Marie Thomas, Barmera, SA—Marie Thomas passed away unexpectedly on November 20, 2024, leaving her family, friends, and the wider community devastated. Marie’s death has shaken her loved ones to the core, as she was known for her boundless generosity, hard work, and the deep love she shared with everyone around her.
Marie was a mother to three daughters and a son, as well as a nanny to four grandchildren, with another on the way. She was also an adopted mother to many others over the years, touching countless lives with her selflessness. Her family describes her as the cornerstone of their world, and her sudden passing has left an irreplaceable void.
Known for building her business, "Absolute Cleaning Riverland," from the ground up, Marie dedicated herself to her work and her clients, whom she considered friends. She would often spend long hours on the phone, offering a listening ear, and even small errands like a trip to the shop would take hours as she always made time to chat with those she encountered. Her infectious personality and genuine care for others made her a beloved figure in her community.
Marie’s son, Matt Thomas, has set up a GoFundMe campaign to assist with funeral expenses and give her a send-off fitting for the love she gave throughout her life. Donations have already been pouring in, including from individuals such as Louise Garschagen, Sue Murphy, Tameeka Semmler, and Cheryl Nitschke.
Those who knew Marie are coming forward with heartfelt messages, sharing their grief and memories. As one person wrote, "the world certainly becomes a little darker without her and her infectious personality."
In the face of such a painful loss, Marie’s family is determined to celebrate her life and the love she shared with all who knew her. They ask that people remember her for the joy she brought and the legacy she leaves behind, rather than mourning her passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Marie Thomas’s family during this incredibly difficult time.
